updated command-line-tool

by Eric Hsu

Okay, somebody had the brilliant and easy idea of adding a little 'Hit RETURN' kludge to allow use of TM with svn and other external editing. So I tweaked the command line tool I posted and added a better help listing and a -w to have it block until the user hits RETURN. I have used it successfully to check it into SVN and use TM to write the comment. The little pleasures! :) You can get it at <http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Scripts/tm>. If you need this tool, you don't need my help installing it... best, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Re: [TxMt] Feature request: "see" like SubEthaEdit

by Eric Hsu

1. I have appended a shell script that launches TM and allows piped input. I did not write the script; in fact, I merely found it in my ~/bin directory and thought that it came with the standard TM install. The -c option lets you create a new file. It does lack the crucial 'don't quit until editing is done' feature. Here are three kludges I can think of to get that feature. Given a -wait flag: a. add a block at the end of the script that creates a $TM_FILE.lock in the same directory and checks every N seconds for the .lock file. When it's gone, quit the script. Then create a command that saves current file and deletes the .lock file. Finally, write a little macro that saves, closes the window and runs the 'delete .lock' command. In a future version of TM that triggers scripts/commands on events, one can avoid the command and macro, and have 'Close Window' trigger the deletion of the lock file. b. have the shell script loop and check for changes to the modification date on the file. Unfortunately, that means it will quit on the first save. But you don't need any fiddling with macros and commands. c. call the Textmate Service from a (different) shell script. The TM Service definitely blocks whatever app calls it. In other contexts this might be a bug, but here it's great. However, I don't know how to pipe text to a Cocoa Service from the command line. This may be rather hard.

split view

by Andreas Bueler

Hi guys, is there a way to split a page in 2 views? Nice, when working with a lot of properties in a class. So I can have all the properties show up in one view, while working on other parts in the class. It would also be nice to have a split view with two different files. Like classfile1 on top and classfile2 on the bottom. Best Regards, Andy

View Man Page in Safari command

This gets more interesting once we have a way to direct HTML to the preview window. Another thing that would be nice: command execution from URLs, which would allow the references to other man pages to work. But there are -- of course -- security implications to that feature. Perhaps if it only works in the preview window, not system-wide. ruby -e " def error( message ) %x{osascript <<END tell application \"SystemUIServer\" activate display dialog \"#{message}\" end tell END } end def ask(question, answer = '$TM_SELECTED_TEXT') %x{osascript <<END tell application \"SystemUIServer\" activate display dialog \"#{question}\" default answer \"#{answer}\" set answername to text returned of the result do shell script (\"/bin/echo \" & answername) end tell END} end error('Xcode tools must be installed to view man pages') if not File.exist?('/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Plug-ins/DocViewerPlugIn.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/rman') name = ask('Display man page for which command?') name.chomp! temptemp = %Q{/tmp/tmp.#{name}.`whoami`.TMmantemp} temphtml = %Q{/tmp/tmp.#{name}.`whoami`.html} %x{man #{name} > #{temptemp}} # generate HTML and open it if successfully found the entry if not \$?.success? then # puts 'No manual entry for ' + name %x{open -a TextMate &} # switch back to TextMate else %x{cat #{temptemp} | \"/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Plug-ins/DocViewerPlugIn.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/rman\" -fHTML > #{temphtml}} %x{open #{temphtml}} end "

Pattern name available as a shell variable? (re: PHP code-completion)

by Ian

Hi, I'm currently rewritiing the php code completion thingy, and I'd like it to be scope sensitive. To find the scope at the cursor I can use the file as stdin, and work it out myself. But it struck me that I'd be able to work some things out based on the current pattern applications (like 'Embedded PHP', and being in quotes). So a couple of questions. * could we have a variable $TM_PATTERN_NAME which gives the current pattern name? * would there be a way to access patterns names 'higher up'? (like 'Embedded PHP')? I'm wanting to figure out the scope because I'm implementing scope sensitive completion, including completions based on your own code. Any comments, advice, much appreciated. Ian White

Asian language input methods

by Jonathon Delacour

Having just returned to the Macintosh after eight years of using Windows (and TextPad), one of the first applications I installed was TextMate. Twenty minutes later, when I'd piped my first text through markdown.pl and created my first tab-activated snippets, I was already happy to pay the license fee. However, I then found it wasn't possible to enter Japanese text. The list archives revealed that Kazuo Saito had already raised this issue (http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-December/001824.html) and that Allan Odgaard had promised a fix: > I can't give an ETA on when this will be fixed, but I can imagine it's > frustrating for those who rely on these input methods, so I'll try not > to have “the fix” pending for too long. I appreciate that perhaps only a tiny minority of TextMate users need to work with Asian languages but was hoping that it might be possible to give an approximate ETA on when this will be fixed. I really don't want to waste time looking for an alternative to TextMate. Thanks, Jonathon Delacour

Changing Tab-Behavior

by Andreas Bueler

Hi, I'm new to the list, so please forgive me, if this has being asked before. Is it possible to change the tab behavior of TextMate? For example I find it strange that single line intending to the right works correctly (using tabs), but if you try to tab back to the left site, it is using spaces instead of tabs. It would also be great to change the behavior of multi line tabbing. I'm so used to use the tab key to intend to the right and "apple key" together with the tab key to move lines to the left. But if I do that, the lines I would like to intend, are deleted. (I hope you understand what I mean.. sorry for my english) Other then that I really like TextMate. Kind Regards, Andy Switzerland

filtering command with CocoaDialog

by Eric Hsu

hi folks, Another tip I thought I'd share. I often have situations where I have to discard all lines in a file that start with a number, or other cleanup tasks like that. Now, you can use TM's Text>Filter Through Command... and then use grep or grep -v. But I have a hard time remembering grep's regexp format. It's already all I can do to remember TM's and Perl's. So I wanted to write a command to pop up a GUI input field so I could enter in a Perl regexp for lines to match with two buttons so I could either Keep only the matching lines or Discard the matching lines. So what I did was toss together a quick script in Perl and use CocoaDialog as a front-end. To use this, you need to download CocoaDialog from <http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/download.html>, and put it in /Applications. (If you don't like that place, change the path in the script.) If you don't have a need for this script, you still might be able to get some mileage out of CocoaDialog. It is a simple way to get GUI onto any script that talks to the command-line. It has a number of different window formats. Pashua is neat, but it requires use-ing a module, and Platypus is more for creating drag-and-drop things. good luck, Eric --- TM Command. Before: nothing Command: my$CD="/Applications/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog";my$rv=`$CD inputbox --title "Filter with Regexp" --no-newline \\ --informative-text "Filter lines matching this Perl regular expression:" \\ --text "" \\ --button1 "Keep" --button2 "Discard" \\ --width 500`;my($button_rv,$term)=split/\n/,$rv,2;while(<STDIN>){if($button_rv==2){unless(/$term/){print;}}elsif($button_rv==1){if(/$term/){print;}}} Stdin: selected Stdout: replace selected -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

YAIT (Yet Another Icon Thread)

I posted another set of icons to the wiki today, but I'll announce it here. They are more in line (I think) with aqua-style editor icons (pages and pen), and they use a lot of ideas garnered from the list archives. There are six colors in the disk image, so hopefully you will find one you like, and they all have been designed to degrade gracefully (48 is less detailed so it's not burry and 32 and 16 are even more so).

Re: [TxMt] LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

>If using LaTeXTidy.pl and your LaTex Tidy bundle command, were should >LaTeXTidy.pl be placed. I tried usr/local/bin but that did not work. >Should I place it inside the bundle itself. First, make sure it's set to execute (chmod +x LaTeXTidy.pl). Then either place it in your PATH and call it as LaTeXTidy.pl or put it somewhere you like, e.g. /usr/local/bin/LaTeXTidy.pl and call it with its full path in the command. I hope that works! If you put it in the same bundle as the command, then call it with wither the full path if you know it, or with "$TM_BUNDLE_PATH"/LaTeXTidy.pl if you think you might move it someday. Good luck, Eric ps. Backup your documents! Check! This works for me, but you should be cautious.

syntax color schemes

by Brian Lalor

I'd like to play around a bit with an alternative light-on-dark color scheme for my bundles, but, in the same way that I can't draw a straight line with a ruler (but can appreciate architecture) I am completely inept at picking text colors that have high contrast and look good (but I know them when I see them). I know someone (or someones) whipped up a C bundle with a light-on-dark scheme, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I thought I might start by looking at that, but what might be better is if someone could point me to a resource that had examples of high-contrast color schemes for text highlighting. :-) Anyone?

LaTeX Tidy command

by Eric Hsu

Here is a little command I've written (as usual, a wrapper around a Perl script), which naively tries to indent your LaTeX file intelligently. If it succeeds, there are two good side effects. First, your file looks nicer. Second, your file foldings work correctly, as TM is cued by the indentation. Good luck. Check the file, if you use it. It works for me, your mileage may vary. I've appended the one-liner version. Since it is a blob of line noise, I also have a link to the latest version of the uncompressed Perl, which is at <http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Latex.tmbundle/LaTeXTidy.…> You can put that somewhere and write a command to call it instead. I suspect anyone with issues with the folding could customize this script for their language if necessary. I know PerlTidy and HTMLTidy exist. I couldn't find a TeXTidy, so I wrote this last year... - Eric -- Before: Nothing STDIN: Entire STDOUT: Replace doc Command: perl -e 'my$in;while(<STDIN>){$in.=$_;}my@keywords=qw( appendix author bibliography bigskip chapter date def document evensidemargin font headheight headsep include index make new noindent oddsidemargin page paragraph part ragged renew section subsection subsubsection subsubsubsection table textheight textwidth title topmargin use vfil);$in=~s/\%(.*?)\n/\n\n\%$1\n\n/g;my@pieces=split(/\n\s*\n/,$in);my$string,$keyword;foreach(@pieces){if(/^\s*\%/){$string.=$_."\n";next;}s/\s+/ /g;foreach$keyword(@keywords){s/(\\$keyword)/\n$1/g;}s/([^\\]\%)/\n$1/g;s/(\\begin\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\end\{)(.*?)(\})/\n$1$2$3\n/g;s/(\\item)(.*?)(\\item)/$1$2\n$3/g;s/(\\item)/\n$1/g;s/[^\\](\\\[)/\n$1/g;s/(\\\])/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\)\s/$1\n/g;s/(\\\\\[)(.*?)(\])\s/$1$2$3\n/g;s/\n\s*\n/\n/g;s/^\n//;chomp;$string.=$_."\n\n";}$string=~s/\n\s+\n/\n\n/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(end)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\%[^\n]*)(\\)(begin)/$1$2\{\n\n\n\}$3/g;$string=~s/(\\end)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;$string=~s/(\\begin)/\[\n\n\n\]$1/g;@pieces=split(/\[\n\n\n\]/,$string);my$indent=1;my@lines;my$piece,$i;$string="";foreach$piece((a)pieces){$piece=~s/\{\n\n\n\}//g;$piece=~/^\\(.*?)\{/;if(lc($1)eq"begin"){$indent++;}else{$indent--;}@lines=split(/\n/,$piece);foreach(@lines){s/^\s+//;if(/^\\begin/i){for($i=1;$i<=$indent-1;$i++){$string.="\t";}}else{for($i=1;$i<=$indent;$i++){$string.="\t";}}$string.=$_."\n";}}print$string;'

Could we change the menu under which macros/snippets/commands are shown?

by Chris Brierley

I love the new mode-based menu interface for macros/snippets/commands. What I'd really love is if I could control which mode menu they show up in. For example, I've made a couple of commands that are related to HTML. However, since I've made them myself, they show up under the "Custom" menu, when I'd really like them to be under "HTML". Maybe, like with the syntax files, a "mode" key could be added to the macros/snippets/commands plist files where I could specify which mode they should be a part of? What do you think? Thanks much.

Turn off auto-indent?

by Brian Smith

Wow--I use TextPad daily on my PC at work and always wished there was a text editor like it for the Mac where I could easily switch between documents with tabs. And the ability to call a shell script to do a word count or any other UNIX command and have the output appear as a tooltip, new window, or whatever you want--brilliant, and really easy to use. This is probably the first time I've wished TextPad could do some things a Mac editor can do, and not vice versa. There's only one seemingly minor thing that's keeping me from buying TextMate right now and retiring Tex-Edit Plus--TextMate's auto-identing feature, where if I have a paragraph of text (not code), it automatically inserts a tab on the next line when I hit return. This drives me nuts because while I use my Mac editor for HTML at times, I mainly use it to write documents that have normal indented paragraphs of text. At the end of a paragraph in a word processor or email program I'm conditioned to hit return, then hit tab for the next paragraph--so having TextMate indent the next paragraph automatically just means I end up with two tabs. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off auto-indenting of new lines, or is that a feature being considered for a future release? If there is a way to turn that off and I just can't find it, I apologize for being an idiot in advance...anyway, thanks to the developer for creating this, keep up the good work, -Brian

Re: [TxMt] properties parser?

by Eric Hsu

>I would like to automate some customization for some bundles (as >colors), is the format in those .plist files standard (for instance >Perl.plist)? If it is and you wanted to search for a parser for some >programming language which keyword would you use? If you are asking whether the 'names' of each color class (e.g. Comments) in the .plist is standard across the bundles, I'd say it would be a miracle if they were, since they were all hacked by individuals who wanted their favorite language colored. On the other hand, it might be possible for people to agree to use keywords in their names so the XML could be parsed and the color settings could be custom set by a big regexp search and replace. For the record, BBEdit 8 recognizes the following colors for customization: General: Foreground, Background Guide Contrast [the color of non-page window] Custom Highlight Color: Primary, Secondary Highlight Insertion Point Line Color Source Code: Keywords, String Constants, Comments HTML Tags: General, Processing Instructions, Anchor, Image, Names, Values TM bundles generally have more colors than that. But if Bundle writers could agree on a reasonable base set and rename their names, that could go a long way towards making the colors customizable before Allan gets his next solution done. Allan may have to set standards like this anyway, unless he writes a small GUI Syntax File browser that displays the Names with a little Color Picker patch. That would be fabulous, of course. - Eric

Re: [TxMt] fugu prob

This is a known problem with Launch Services. Basically, any new application (or new version of) needs to become "trusted" by the OS before other applications can "see" it. To make an application "trusted" you must double click one of its documents, then you'll be presented with an alert from the OS that you "are opening this for the first time" blah blah. From that point, the application is "trusted". As a little advertisement, Yummy FTP works around this problem :-) Hope that helps.

PHP Command Completion bug

Hello, Greame Merrall pointed out to me that the lookup aspect of the phpcc tool (http://ian.ardes.com/phpcc) was not working quite right (thanks Graeme). The problem is that the manual page lookup does not work when the current function has been expanded from a partial word. To fix this change line 19 of phpcc.php to: storeLookupWord($matching[0]); I'm hoping to release a new version of this soon, with some more features, and with an easier installation process.

properties parser?

by Xavier Noria

I would like to automate some customization for some bundles (as colors), is the format in those .plist files standard (for instance Perl.plist)? If it is and you wanted to search for a parser for some programming language which keyword would you use? -- fxn

opening files in TM

by Tim Martens

How do I get all my txt, html, css, php, js, rb, and sql files to open in textmate by default on OSX? It seems some of these extensions have been hijacked and I don't know how to remap them globally. I'm a fairly recent "switcher." -t

This would be the equivalent of a flag on the regexp of searching across newlines. FYI, I had this exact issue and here is the command I wrote to work around it. Basically, I put pdflatex into a nonstop mode and pipe it through a script to erase any newline that isn't part of multiple newlines. Then I figure out the name of the resulting .pdf file and open it in Preview. It works pretty well and it catches in a 'jumpable way' most of the errors and warnings that pdflatex produces. I leave it to others to customize the path to pdflatex... Preview has an annoying habit of not refreshing files when they are re-opened; otherwise this would be a complete replacement for TexShop.

new Java bundle

by Lang Riley

Hi All, I packed up all my java snippets and commands and integrated them with the nice syntax and template stuff that already existed in the Java bundle. Attached you will find a tarred and gziped Java.tmbundle. It adds a truckload of capabilities. Just slap it in one of the appropriate directories that TextMate looks in for bundles and tar xvfz Java.tmbundle.tar.gz, restart TextMate and fly! Allan, I would like to get this shipping with TextMate if you are interested. I think a lot of Java programmers would enjoy this stuff. Lang Riley

Catching Error messages

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, I love the way TextMate allows me to catch errors from the output and make them clickable, so that I can quickly correct them. But I think this process can be improved even more with two requests: - Allow for multi-line captures: (pdf)latex produces quite verbose errormessages that almost always are on two lines. I haven't been able to get TextMate to catch both lines and let me see it back in the overview. - If TextMate could also jump to the place in the output where the error was produced, it would be great, because context is often important in finding the cause of the error and it's very hard to define regexps to grasp all those things. Thanks, Jeroen.

useful java commands

by Lang Riley

Command purpose: Do a reasonably valiant attempt to locate all senders of a particular message/method within the project. Usage: Highlight the method name, excluding the parameter portion of the method signature, and execute this command. It will search across all source in your project and return a clickable list of method invocations. It doesn't work perfectly, but it often works very satisfactorily. Example, you would like to find all the places where public void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) is used, simply highlight handleRequest and execute the command which will bring up a window with links to these occurrences. Command: grep -rn "\.$TM_SELECTED_TEXT(" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding all declarations of a particular method within the project. Usage: Same as above. Command: grep -rn "[ ]$TM_SELECTED_TEXT(" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding a class definition within the project. Usage: Same as above, but highlight the class name. Example, Dispatcher d = new DispatcherServlet();, highlight DispatcherServlet and execute the command. This will bring up a window with clickable links to each declaration found. Command: egrep -rns "class[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Do a reasonably good job of finding an interface definition within the project. Usage: Same as above, but highlight the class name. Example, Dispatcher d = new DispatcherServlet();, highlight Dispatcher (assuming it is an interface) and execute the command. This will bring up a window with clickable links to each declaration found. Command: egrep -rns "interface[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY | grep "\.java" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Command purpose: Open a window listing all the methods found in a particular class. assuming the class containing the method definitions exists in the project. Usage: Highlight the class name for which you would like to search, then execute the command. This will bring up a window, no links sorry, that lists the method signature for each of the methods local to that class, i.e., non-inherited methods. I find this useful when I quickly want to find what methods are available without having to search for the file or read documentation. cat `egrep -rnsl "class[ ]+$TM_SELECTED_TEXT[ ]+" .` | egrep "public[ ]+\<.*\>[ ]+\<.*\>$.*$[ ]+(throws .*|){" Standard Input: None Standard Ouput: Show in separate window Pattern: ^.*\/(\w+\.java):(\d+):.* Format string: $1 $2 File register: 1 Line: 2 Enjoy, Lang Riley

useful java snippets to share

by Lang Riley

Below are some useful java snippets and their explanations that I created. I will try to take the time later to add them to the wiki: Snippet result: Create a class in java with auto-generated package name, author, date, class name. Usage: For the autogeneration of the package you should create your class file in its proper location, e.g., org.foo.bar.Batz.java would be created in the directory bar which is a subdirectory of foo and org directories. The autogeneration of package name and classname also assumes that your class package directory structure has as its parent directory a directory named 'src'. You can of course change that in the third call to sed for both the package name and the class name. Trigger: jcl (or whatever you want to trigger it with) Snippet: ${1:package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`}; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${9:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public class ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} ${3:extends} $4 ${5:implements} $6${7:,}$8 { $0 } Snippet result: Create a private scoped variable. Not that useful, but heh, it is here if you want it. Usage: No explanation necessary. Trigger: jpv private ${1:String} $2; $0 Snippet result: Create a public scoped method Usage: No special comments. Pretty straight forward. Trigger: jpum Snippet: /** * $2 * * @param $4 $5 * ${6:@return} $7 */ public ${1:void} $2(${3:String} $4) { $0 } Snippet result: Create an if statement with guard comment Usage: Trigger: jif Snippet: if ($1) { // $2 $0 } Snippet result: Create a privately scoped method. Usage: Trigger: jpm Snippet: /** * $2 * * @param $4 $5 * ${6:@return} $7 */ private ${1:void} $2(${3:String} $4) { $0 } Snippet result: Create a while statement with guard comment Usage: Trigger: jwh Snippet: while ($1) { // $2 $0 } Snippet result: Create a try/catch/finally block Usage: Trigger: jtc Snippet: try { $2 } catch ($1 e) { $3 } finally { $0 } Snippet result: Create a class variable/constant. Usage: Trigger: jps Snippet: private static final ${1:String} $2 = "$0"; Snippet result: Create an if/else statement with guard comments Usage: Trigger: jelse Snippet: if ($1) { // $2 $0 } else { // $3 } Snippet result: Create the package imports and instantiation code for using jakarta commons logging package. Usage: I would suggest executing the snippet in the import area of you class definition and then cut/pasting the instantiation code to the private member variable declaration area. Trigger: jlog Snippet: import org.apache.commons.logging.Log; import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory; /** Logger for this class and subclasses */ protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass()); Snippet result: Create a JUnit TestCase subclass for unit testing. Auto-generates the package name and the proper imports for the class that will be tested. Usage: Assumes JUnit unit test class naming convention is followed whereby if a class named UserDao is being unit tested, the unit test class would be named UserDaoTests.java and would be located in a parallel directory structure analogous to its package name. Also assumes, as is standard convention, that unit test packages have as their parent directory 'test' and the classes which they test have the parent directory of 'src'. For example, UserDao.java would be located, let's say, in src/org/foo/bar/dao/ and its unit test class, UserDaoTests.java, would be in test/org/foo/bar/dao/. Of course, if you don't work that way, you can message the regular expressions to suite your environment. Trigger: jtest Snippet: package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`; import junit.framework.TestCase; import `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//'`; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${4:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public class ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} extends TestCase { private ${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; public ${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} get${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`}() { return this.${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; } public void set${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`}(${5:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/'`} ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}) { this.${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`} = ${6:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*test.//' | sed 's/Tests.java//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$$/\1/' | perl -e 'print lcfirst(<>)'`}; } public void test$8() { $0 } } Snippet result: Create public getter/setter pair for a private instance variable. This really comes in handy if you do a lot of dependency injection style development, for bean properties. Usage: Trigger: jprops Snippet: public $1 get$2() { return this.$3; } public void set$2($1 $3) { this.$3 = $3; } Snippet result: Create a JSTL output statement for jsp code. Usage: Trigger: jcout Snippet: <c:out value="\${$1}"/>$0 Snippet result: Create an interface definition with autogenerated package name, interface name, author name, and date. Usage: Same as the usage for the java class snippet. Trigger: jid Snippet: ${1:package `echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.[A-Za-z]*.java//g'`}; /** * ${2:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} * * @author ${3:`niutil -readprop / /users/$USER realname`} * @since `date +%D` */ public interface ${4:`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed 's/\//./g' | sed 's/^.//' | sed 's/.*src.//' | sed 's/.*\.$[A-Za-z]*$.java/\1/g'`} { $0 } Hope it helps someone, it sure has saved me a ton of typing.

Commands with AppleScript question ???

by Mats Persson

I've been trying to get into the habit of using CVS, so I have created a few TM command scripts that performs the basic CVS shell commands. HOW do I convert the text returned from a Finder display dialog script into a shell variable ???? sort of like this: osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" display dialog \"mxCVS::Commit Message\" default answer theDefaultAnswer buttons {\"Cancel\", \"OK\"} default button 2 set the theMessage to the text returned of the result end tell" $CVSmsg = output from the above AS script I'm having a bug problem with the Applescript execution of "do shell script", as AS can't somehow access $CVSROOT from .bash_profile or even from /etc/profile which really pisses me off. Every other aspect of CVS works OK, but not through AS. Kind regards, Mats

TextMate 1.1b1

by Allan Odgaard

I wanted to have a beta out before the new year, so it's now available :) I'm 'announcing' it since it turns out the automatic version check was broken around 1.0.2b8 or so, in that it doesn't schedule a check before the preferences window has opened. So just open the preferences, and you should be told about it (if beta versions are included in the check). This bug actually lead to interesting statistics, because I can correlate number of downloads with number of version checks (based on IP address) and estimate how many actually open the preferences, which is ~25%. Beta 1 is btw only a minor update, as December wasn't my most productive month. But it does feature mode-dependent lookup for snippets and macros, which I think is rather cool :)

That's true too; it would be great to someday have undo in the textbox. And maybe even commands! :) Maybe instead of my suggestion there could be a little button on the Find/Replace box that says Undo Last Replace? 2. PDF Webkit already gives you PDF viewing for free, if you have Schubert's PDF Plugin (doesn't everyone?) For instance, you can enter in the url of a PDF file in TM's web preview and view PDFs right now.

three small feature requests

by Eric Hsu

A few small requests for this marvelous editor. 1. Allow undo from find/replace dialog. Lots of times I enter in the wrong regular expression and the find/replace goes badly. I want to hit apple-Z and Undo it and fire up another search, but instead I have to switch to the text window. 2. It would be great if the new ( :) ) txmt: resource locator allows us to load things like txmt://a.pdf, which would then get loaded into the web preview window. Reason: I want to hack up a replacement for TeXShop within TM. Already you can make a command to have pdftex create a .pdf output file and open it in Preview. I'd like it to show up in TM! It would feel cleaner that way. 3. Allow syntax files to be reloaded. Then we could edit them within TM and see the results without quitting and restarting. best wishes, Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Undo should accumulate contiguous input

by David Tolpin

Hi, a common practice is to let Undo undo all characters entered during last stroke (that is, not interrupted by movements or other operations (find/replace/search) at once. That is, If I type a few words, then press Option-Z, I expect all the words to disappear, not one letter at a time. This is the way undo works in most environments, including emacs, vi, TextEdit, AppleWorks, sam, acme, Word ... David

Velocity Template Language Syntax Highlighting

by Jamal Johnson

howdy, i just stumbled upon TextMate while looking for a native development text editor and am _very_ impressed with it's featureset and believe i will be purchasing soon. i am wondering, however, if there is anyone out there who has developed (or _loves_ to develop ;)) a syntax highlighting plist / bundle for the Velocity Template Language (http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/vtl-reference-guide.html)? i am terrible with regular expressions unfortunately, so i'm not having much luck with it. it's basically a dynamic language like php or asp and is mainly used in web (html type) files which can include css, javascript, xml / xsl etc.... the best / closest type i've found to work is the ASP style. it's _very_ close but would like to have certain things highlighted differently and it's missing (obviously since it's a different language) a bunch of declarations. i am desperate for this type of highlighting. if anyone is interested in helping me out, i could send an example file that includes javascript, xml / xsl, css and Velocity markup. any takers?? thanx in advance, jamal

Re: [TxMt] Help with LaTeX-build command

by otheraccount＠verizon.net

Hi, I'm attaching the compile script I use, or actually combination of scripts. The compile script expects to get nothing as input and discards its output, and the 'save active file before running command' thing should be on. The command that runs it is: compile-tm "$TM_FILEPATH" >/dev/null 2>&1 & Two points: - This reports on how things went via Growl---and it doesn't check if you have it installed---so if you don't use it, you might want to go into the 'compile-report' script and change the Growl stuff to something else, like maybe an AppleScript dialog box. (Just redirecting the output of the script to a tooltip won't work without serious additional fiddling.) - This tries to preview using TeXniscope. The typeset script works analogously. I'm also attaching a script that goes to the next TeX error by looking at the output file and piloting TM via AppleScript (which is a bit slow and causes the 'go to line' dialog box to appear briefly), and one that compiles the current selected text (but requires the whole document as input). Hope some of this might be of some use... It's not particularly earth- shattering, but works OK for me.

Help with LaTeX-build command

by Ivar Åsell

Hi! I would like to be able to do this in TM 1. select a .tex-file 2. run a macro that 2.1 selects all text 2.2 runs that text through a "tex-compiler" wich listens to stdin 2.3 pipe the results from the "tex-compiler" to the preview-app (can this too listen to stdin?) which show me a nice pdf And if I like the results I can save the .tex-file otherwise not. The main point here is that I which to see the pdf without having to save my .tex-file. Would someone help me with this? I have an idea on how this is supposed to be done... 1. record a macro (alt-cmd-m) 2. select all text (cmd-a) 3. filter through command (shift-alt-r) 3.1 input: selection 3.2 output: ? discard? 3.3 command: ??? something like "<build pdf> | open -a /Applications/Preview.app" I just read that "open" cannot read from stdin so I guess it has to be some other way around. Please, I'm really lousy at this stuff. Help would be much appreciated! Kindest Regards Ivar

tabs

by Patrick Kelly

I'd like to be able to set my "indentation level" to 4 and leave the tab stops at 8. That is, if I hit my tab key the cursor should move as if my tabs stops are set at 4 (any any spaces required should be added). If there are any actual tab characters in the file, the file should display as if I had selected 8 as my tab size. (Basically this is because I edit files that other people have edited using emacs which "intelligently" uses tabs where it can to fill in sequences of 8 spaces.) I was playing with the notion of expanding all the tabs to spaces so that it will display properly even if I have my tab size set to 4, but I'm afraid this will cause lots of extraneous differences when I check in my changes to CVS. Another item is that when I'm working in Tcl I want my indentation level to be 4 characters. When working in PL/SQL I want it at 8. (Probably in C or C++ I'd want 2 or 3.)

Some features of the "bbedit" command line tool are discussed in this review of BBEdit 8.0: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/12/21/bbedit.html?CMP=ILC- macrss&ATT=BBEdit+8.0++A+Developers+Viewpoint For my taste, the notable bits are: (1) The '--clean' option for suppressing the 'Do you want to save changes?' dialog. (2) The tool is installed from a button in the preferences. Just some food for thought/discussion for the eventual TextMate command-line tool.

Christmas greetings, and Thanks to Allan

by Drew McLellan

With the holidays fast approaching and people drifting away from their desks to do far more entertaining things than write code all day, I though this was an appropriate time to: a) wish everyone a very happy Christmas time, if they celebrate the festival or not ;) b) offer my thanks again to Allan for providing us with such a great product. I spend all day, every day working with TextMate and it's the first time I've actually felt 'at home' coding on the Mac since switching last January. That's all really :) drew.

multiple folding Markers?

by Phil Lawrence

I'd like to make a bundle with PL/SQL syntax (didn't look like anyone did that yet), but I don't see how to specify pairs of folding markers. Here's an example of what's wrong: PropertyList-Old.plist has these lines: foldingStartMarker = "(\\{|\$)"; foldingStopMarker = "(\\}|\$)"; But what causes folds on bad blocks like this: { # curly brace ) # parenthesis I'd like to do blocks like these: IS -> END; IF -> END IF; ( -> ) etc. Possible? I see "pairs" of other things are being handled (e.g.highlightPairs), perhaps we could do this too! prl

Tab History Revisited

by Wayne Larsen

A while back I posted about the possibility of having a history list for tabs so that you could use a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch to the last file you were editing. The resolution proposed was to use drag sorting to locate the files next to each other, and then use tab navigation to switch back and forth. With only 3 or 4 visible tabs and many files open, most of my open files are pushed off the tab bar. Can you drag sort items if they are not currently visible as a tab? I still think my history list idea has merit. Maybe everyone else is far more organized, but I've basically devolved to using the mouse and the project drawer to switch files -- unless I know I am going to be editing two files side by side for a while, in which case I will close one -- switch to the other, then open the first one again so that I know they are side by side. I realized that this style of working is essentially what I would like out of the History List that I proposed. In other words, if you completely ignore the tab bar as a traditional tab bar, it would function exactly like the history list if -- when switching to a file from the project drawer, the file acts as if it was not open, and appears as a tab to the right of the currently open tab. I fear I did not explain that well, but the idea is simple. When selecting a file for edit, first close the file, then open it (or behave as if this was done). If the file is selected from the tab bar, then leave the behavior as it is. With this behavior, the tab bar would become a history list, and it would be simple to swap between files using the already existing tab navigation shortcuts. Is anyone else overwhelmed by the tab navigation as it stands? This metaphor works great for something like browsing -- because I can open up a new window if I have too many tabs already open in the current window. I hate to keep bringing up emacs-isms, but the switch buffer commands are very powerful (switch to last buffer, or switch to buffer by using filename completion). Combine the project drawer with some sort of history navigation, and I would be very happy. Thanks, Wayne

update: Universal Un/Comment

by Eric Hsu

hi folks, I am startled but gratified at the response to the Un/Comment hack. I added a number of fixes and options people have been asking for and packaged it up into a .tmbundle so you don't have to copy in the hideous Perl 1-liner (but you can... attached below). In the bundle, I also included the source code, which is released as Niceware. That's like the Perl Artistic License, except that you have to be nice to me when you criticize the code. The bundle lives at <http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu/textmate>. Changes - I added some options. To invoke them, put them on the command line, e.g. perl -e '...' "$TM_FILEPATH" first-column comment .tex - so if you want separate comment/uncomment, make two commands with one option 'comment' and the other 'uncomment' - I added a bunch of filetype endings, including the ones in Chris T's beautiful Ruby script. - fixed Ollivier Robert's newline bug - Drew McLellan: I added CSS, but sadly, I can only comment each line, not the whole thing. I hope that is still useable. Options # 'first-column' puts the first comment marker at the line start # 'comment' always comments (for people who want the smartness, but not the toggleness) # 'uncomment' always uncomments. If you foolishly use both comment and this, comment wins. # 'comment-whitespace' comments whitespace which we normally skip. # '.tex' will force the use of TeX style comments. You can substitute your favorite ending, like '.java' or '.pl'. The leading dot is important. Last type listed wins. # 'toggle' changes the comment status line by line. Normally, the whole thing is a block. best wishes, Eric --- If you install the thing as a tmbundle, you can also install it as a command as Before: do nothing Command: ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/UnComment.tmbundle/comment-toggle.pl "$TM_FILEPATH" STDIN: Selected STDOUT: Replace Selected To install it as a command as a one-liner, with no path issues: Before: do nothing Command: perl -e '$markers={"pl,pm,rb"=>["#",""],"plist,c,css,m+h,cp,cpp,h,p,pas,js,htc,c++,h++"=>["/*","*/","//",""],"java,cc,mm"=>["//","","/*","*/"],"html,htm,xml"=>[""],"bib,ltx,tex,ps,eps"=>["%",""],"php"=>["#","","/*","*/","","//",""],"mli,ml,mll,mly"=>["(*","*)"],"script,adb,ads,sql,ddl,dml"=>["--",""],"f,f77"=>["C ",""],"inf,f90"=>["!",""],};$tab=4;while(($k,$v)=each(%$markers)){foreach(split(/\s*,\s*/,$k)){$c{"$_"}=$v;}}$_=shift@ARGV;($type)=/\.([^.]*)$/;foreach$option(@ARGV){if($option=~/^\.(.*)$/){$type=$1;}$opt->{$option}++;}unless($c{"$type"}){$type="pl";}($start,$finish,@etc)=@{$c{$type}};$isntfirst=0;while(<STDIN>){push@in,$_;($indent)=/^([ \t]*)/;$indentl=0;foreach$j(1..(length($indent))){$ch=substr($indent,$j-1,1);if($ch eq" "){$indentl++;}else{unless($indentl%$tab){$indentl+=$tab;}else{$indentl+=$indentl%$tab;}}}unless($isntfirst){$indentmin=$indent;$indentminl=$indentl;$isntfirst++;}else{if($indentl<$indentminl||$indent eq""){$indentmin=$indent;$indentminl=$indentl;}}}$isntfirst=0;foreach(@in){$lineend="";if($opt->{"toggle"}){$iscomment=$isfirstofpair=$isntfirst=0;}if(chomp){$lineend="\n";}unless(/\S/){unless($opt->{"comment-whitespace"}){$out.=$_."\n";next;}}unless($isntfirst){$isntfirst=1;foreach$delimiter(@{$c{"$type"}}){$isfirstofpair=1-$isfirstofpair;$delimiterq=quotemeta($delimiter);if($isfirstofpair){if(/^\s*$delimiterq/){$iscomment=1;$start=$delimiter;$startq=$delimiterq;}}elsif($iscomment){$finish=$delimiter;$finishq=$delimiterq;last;}}}if($opt->{"uncomment"}){$iscomment=1;}if($opt->{"comment"}){$iscomment=0;}if($iscomment){s/^(\s*)$startq(\ )?/$1/;s/(\ )?$finishq(\s*)$/$1/;$out.=$_.$lineend;}else{if($opt->{"first-column"}){$out.=$start;unless($indentmin){$out.=" ";}$out.="$_";if($finish){$out.=" ".$finish;}$out.=$lineend;}else{s/^$indentmin//;$out.=$indentmin.$start." $_";if($finish){$out.=" ".$finish;}$out.=$lineend;}}}print$out;' "$TM_FILEPATH" STDIN: Selected STDOUT: Replace Selected -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

Ruby (Un)Comment command

by William D. Neumann

I'm trying to get the ruby version of the (Un)comment command running on my box, and I'm getting the following error: /Users/wneuman/Library/Dev/TextMate/comment.rb:1: undefined method `extname' for File:Class (NameError) You say that the script requires Ruby 1.8, and I should be fine there as I've got 1.8.1 installed... Of course, the amount of Ruby I know would fit handily in my back pocket -- even if I had stuffed my back pocket full of marbles. handkercheifs, and gum wrappers beforehand, so I might just be doing something stupid here. Any ideas on how to fix this? William D. Neumann --- "There's just so many extra children, we could just feed the children to these tigers. We don't need them, we're not doing anything with them.

Selecting newline characters

by Jeroen van der Ham

Hi, Here's another feature request: Could you make selecting newline characters a bit easier? At the moment it is virtually impossible drag-select some text and the newline character of a line that is followed by a non-empty line. For an example of how it could be done better is TextEdit. If you select a text there and drag a distance past the newline character, the newline character is also included. Thanks, Jeroen.

new command: Universal Un/Comment (BBEdit-ish)

by Eric Hsu

Hi folks, I missed a command from BBEdit that let you comment and uncomment text magically for different languages with the same keystroke (Text->Un/Comment), so I wrote a version for TextMate. If there is enough interest, I will release commented source code and make it into a nice .tmbundle. It currently only supports perl, php, html, plist and tex. It is trivial to add support for other languages, which I'll do on request (or you can easily figure out yourself, I think... if you do, send me an e-mail so I can update mine!). If the selection's first line is a comment; if so, it uncomments the rest of the selection. If not, it comments the whole selection, line by line. It tries to keep the selection's indentation. It parses the filetype from the filename ending to figure out what are comments. If a language has more than one kind of delimiter pair, it will use the first pair in the list for commenting, and will search for all listed pairs for uncommenting. Notice this last feature improves on BBEdit's Text->Un/Comment functionality. The delimiters are stored in $a in the format "a,b,c"=>[$first, $last], where each of the file endings .a, .b and .c will use that delimiter pair. Roll your own! This version is actually better than BBEdit's, in my opinion, because 1. it can uncomment many different comment formats for silly languages like PHP that support several; and 2. it places comment delimiters at the original level of indent (and not the first column like BB does); and 3. we can all customize it. Textmate is powerful! best wishes, Eric -- To install it as a command: Before: do nothing Command: perl -e '$a={"pl,pm"=>["#",""],"plist,c"=>["/*","*/"],"html,htm"=>[""],"tex,ltx"=>["%",""],"php"=>["#","","/*","*/","","//",""]};while(($k,$v)=each(%$a)){foreach(split(/\s*,\s*/,$k)){$c{"$_"}=$v;}}$_=shift@ARGV;($t)=/\.(.*?)$/;($s,$f,@etc)=@{$c{$t}};$b=0;while(<STDIN>){push@in,$_;($in)=/^([ \t]*)/;$inl=0;foreach$j(1..(length($in))){$ch=substr($in,$j-1,1);if($ch eq" "){$inl++;}else{unless($inl%4){$inl+=4;}else{$inl+=$inl%4;}}}unless($i){$ind=$in;$indl=$inl;$i++;}else{if($inl<$indl||$in eq""){$ind=$in;$indl=$inl;}}}$i=0;foreach(@in){if(chomp){$n="\n";}unless(/\S/){$o.=$_."\n";next;}unless($b){$b=1;foreach$d(@{$c{$t}}){$i=1-$i;$d=quotemeta($d);if($i){if(/^\s*$d/){$y=1;$s=$d;}}elsif($y){$f=$d;last;}}}if($y){s/^(\s*)$s(\ )?/$1/;s/(\ )?$f(\s*)$/$1/;$o.=$_.$n;}else{s/^$ind//;$o.=$ind.$s." $_ ".$f.$n;}}print$o;' $TM_FILEPATH STDIN: Selected STDOUT: Replace Selected -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

running mysql on current file

Sometimes you want to execute the SQL contained in the current file via: Before running command: Do nothing Command: [your path to mysql if not in bash's path environment variable]/mysql -u[your username here] -p[your password here] < "$TM_FILEPATH" Standard Input: None (because $TM_FILEPATH is specified above; you could use just selected text too with $TM_SELECTED_TEXT) Standard Output: Show in separate window If you have line numbers showing in the gutter you can quickly find any syntax errors that mysql returns.

Yummy FTP

by Eric Curtis

After reading peoples comments about ftp programs last week I tried yummy ftp and I am very close to buying it. I love that I can select a remote file and hit cmd-B to open it in textmate. Is this the killer feature people where asking for? Does anyone else have reviews for this product? Later, Eric PS. I liked it so much I remapped my open in text editor in PathFinder to cmd-B as well so most of the time I am ready for a quick edit.

for perl development

by Noah M.Daniels

Textmate is looking awesome (I just tried it Friday for the first time) and though I own a copy of BBEdit, I think I may switch. But there are a couple of things still missing, IMHO. First, the Perl syntax bundle doesn't handle POD (=begin, =cut, etc.) yet. I very quickly hacked in support for simply =begin and =cut as block comments, but it would be ideal if it could do as good a job as BBEdit's syntax coloring for Perl/POD. Second, I do miss BBEdit's integration of certain things in its script menu - 'find in reference' (really just shelling out of perldoc -f) and 'view POD' (just shelling out of perldoc), as well as the ability to execute in the debugger. It would be nice to be able to, within a project, execute things like 'perl -d <filename>' and such - or for a C/C++ program, run it in gdb. I realize this can be done in Textmate using the Automation->Commands menu, so perhaps what I'm saying is that a few more built-ins would be nice :) Finally, for the syntax bundles, the non-uniformity of color schemes between bundles (I routinely work in projects involving Perl and C code) could stand to be improved - ideally, a way to graphically change the colors for the syntax bundles would be nice, too, rather than editing the bundles. For example, rather than specifying the RGB values in each syntax plist, have an indirect color code - for example, "keyword" or "comment" - and then in TextMate have a preference that allows you to specify colors for all of those, globally. Anyways, TextMate is looking great. Keep up the good work! -- "Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with the software" -DefCon 10 Noah M. Daniels ndaniels(a)mac.com

About Line Wrapping

by Éric Jacoboni

Hi, Following advice of some people, i'm giving TextMate a try. There is a feature i don't find in TextMate: hard wrapping. I'm editing big XML files and i've not figured how to automatically cut the lines when they reach the right column. I know about Soft Wrap, but i don't want to use it as the document will be sent to people who are using different text editors: i don't want they see a paragraph as a single long long line. In fact, i'm a Emacs user and i need something like 'auto-fill-mode' : when the line reaches the right margin, Emacs insert a newline. To achieve the same thing with TextMate, the only way i've found so far is to reformat the paragraph or the selection, which is not very productive. Is there something to automate this process or should i live with it? Best regards, -- Jaco

File differencing

by Chris Jenkins

I imagine that this might have been covered before, so forgive me if so, but is there any plans to build a file differencing tool into TextMate? I'm talking about something akin to the interface that BBEdit provides, or Xcode for that matter. I find that's the only reason I pop back to BBEdit now, the ability to step through the differences line by line and copy the changes between the files is very useful.

editing textareas?

by Patrick Kelly

Here's an item that bugs me a lot, and there is probably not any solution, but just maybe... Often I'm editing text in a textarea on a web page, and I'd like to edit it in my Favorite Real Editor. Of course I can select all, copy, go to editor, open new, paste, edit, select all, copy, find browser window, select all in the textarea, paste. Is there a way to make this easier? Like hit a key and the editor opens a window with the text. When I close (and save) the results are returned to my browser window, and so am I. I suppose there might be some hack where I could select text, hit a keystroke (or something) and have the select text appear in the editor, then if the default were to select all+copy when closing the window, ... Anyway, some better solution to this problem would be really great. A specialized hack might be to have the txmt: protocol thing integrated so that the editor could fetch text via HTTP and know where to POST the text upon completion of the edit. This may be a complete waste of development effort since webdav is the right and proper solution here. (By the way, I haven't used webdav to any extent really.) This whole thought-stream was launched when I started looking at wikis again. I love the ease-of-use of wikis, EXCEPT for editing in HTML textarea blocks.

Two Issues

Here are two things I find obtrusive in TextMate, one of which is probably just me not finding the right function. 1. I would like to see TextMate windows not going off the screen when they are opened, or under the dock. I use a pretty small screen (compared to lots of you) at 1024x768, and I like my windows to be full size (and not go under the dock). Maximizing a TM window sizes it perfectly - but then opening a new window offsets both downward and to the right, resulting in a partially obscured window and a petty bug. 2. Is there a way to insert a template from a bundle somewhere into an empty file or into a file create outside of a project? A menu item to let me insert the xhtml strict template would save me a lot of time, and seems like something that TM should have. Anyone have any input on either of these little bothers? Am I just completely missing something? Thanks! Kjell

TM seems to agressively cache directory listings

by Patrick Burleson

I've been using TM since it came out and I should have reported this earlier. It seems that TM is overly agressive with regards to caching a directory listing int he "Open" dialog box. I have files that get generated ( or that I create externally) that I want to edit in TM, but if I've already been in that directory in the current TM session, then I won't see the new files. I haven't figured out how to get TM to refresh this list. Any ideas? Or is this a bug/feature? Thanks, Patrick

Re: [TxMt] New Wiki

I realized by accident that if you simply indent text, then it shows up as <pre></pre> text, so that's how I ported the ShellScriptCorner page. Not as nice looking, but easier. Let me note that though the wiki is slightly annoying to use, Textmate made it a lot easier!! In Omniweb, I just select all and command-Escape and edit the textbox in TM, save and close to go back. It makes life a lot easier. - Eric -- Eric Hsu, Assistant Professor of Mathematics San Francisco State University erichsu(a)math.sfsu.edu http://math.sfsu.edu/hsu

[ANN] Ada, Fortran, Pascal syntaxes

by Chris Thomas

These tmbundles are intended to cover the languages as roughly defined by Ada 95, Fortran 77, Fortran 95, and GNU Pascal. I'm not an expert at any of these languages, but I believe the folding for Ada and Pascal is useful. As for Fortran folding, I didn't even try. I'm happy to add folding support if someone will tell me where best to start and end the folds. (Or, of course, you're welcome to modify the tmbundle and upload it yourself :). http://www.cjack.com/tm/Ada.tmbundle.zip http://www.cjack.com/tm/Fortran.tmbundle.zip http://www.cjack.com/tm/Pascal.tmbundle.zip The wiki has been updated accordingly. Share and enjoy, Chris

New Wiki

by Allan Odgaard

After reading about various wiki's (and trying a few) I ended up choosing PmWiki as suggested by Fred. The new Wiki URL is: http://macromates.com/wiki/pmwiki It has a link to a static HTML version of the old wiki before the accident including all the textile pages. The textile pages are up-to-date, but the HTML export was done the 12th December, so edits after the 12th of December are not in the HTML version. I haven't imported the textile pages into PmWiki, since they'd have to be converted, and I'm not sure how easy I can automate this process. So I'm thinking that maybe I should just leave the static pages and import them manually over time (as they are needed), which also allow for some restructuring of the wiki, which I think was probably overdue (break down most of the big pages and create a better structure). I'm really terrible sorry about this, and I hope that it's not viewed as lack of appreciation for the many contributors -- I really do appreciate the work that has been put into the wiki! With this new wiki it also means that I can and will take an active role maintaining the software side of things (which I previously thought I'd outsourced, but let's not point any fingers here... ;) ). Kind regards Allan

Three requests

by profprof＠mac.com

I have two requests that I would REALLY like to see coming soon in textmate: (1) the most important !!! (and I am probably not alone in that): bring back the proper behaviour for CTRL-Y (yank). Coming Emacs and using this command in all the Apple programs, I always find myself trying it in textmate, to no avail. CTRL-Y should cut lines, one after the other, and put them in a buffer. I would recommend that it uses the soft and hard-wrap lines the same way, in a transparent manner. I have adopted textmates last October as my sole text editor, but I miss sorely CTRL-Y (2) Indented reformatting. It would be most useful if the formatting of paragraphs following the indentation of first line. This way, we can format text in a latex file, for example, with the proper visual look. So, if there is 3 spaces before the first character in the first line of the paragraph, the whole paragraph should be formatted with 3 white spaces in front. (3) Intelligent-tab in programming-language modes This is also a feature that I love from emacs and that I miss here. While in a programming mode, hitting TAB anywhere on the line shifts the whole line by a tab (SHIFT-TAB does the same in reverse). This makes it very easy when programming to add loops, etc. I look forward to having those included in textmate. An otherwise very nice editor. Greetings, Normand Mousseau

1.0.2 lost increaseIndentPattern ?

by kumar mcmillan

Hi. I'm not sure if there is some minor adjustment I can make to fix this .... but after installing 1.0.2 my PHP auto-indenting did not work anymore. Here is the pattern from the PHP.plist file that was working fine in <= 1.0.1 : increaseIndentPattern = "^.*(\\{[^}\"']*|\\([^)\"']*)$"; any suggestions? I know the bundle is active because my custom syntax highlighting works. kumar

David finally found the time to merge the rollback patch into instiki but in the process zapped all pages from after november the 5th (apologies on his behalf for not updating the wiki with this info). I have a backup of all the current pages, so they are not lost -- but there is no easy way to import them, so I do think this is the chance to move to another wiki. I have no experience with other wiki software, a few things that would be nice: o run under apache (to allow for robots.txt and fine-masked authentication) o some wiki-spam prevention o page history with rollback of course ;) o would be preferable if the syntax is textile for compatibility o and preferable also if it can import pages easily If there are any suggestions, it would be nice to know how they fit with the above requests.

Feature Req: Column typing

by Duarte Carrilho da Graça

I love column typing, but i dont use it as much as i want because I rarely have things formated in a way that'll allow using it. I think it'd be great to be able to just alt-click a bunch of places to enable column typing (no need to be the same char. num in each line), and do the column typing in the places you clicked (of course then it wouldnt really be *column* typing, but i think it's a very intuitive enhancement...)

TextMate protocol

by Eric Ocean

Awhile back I seem to remember Allen suggesting he could create a TextMate protocol (e.g. txmt://path/to/my/file). I've come to the conclusion that if this was available, I would use it a lot. Here's one example: I use Markdown syntax for most of my writing nowadays, but once I've written something, I want to view it looking nice in a web browser. Invariably, I need to edit the file later. I have three options: I could put up a text area and edit it in the web browser. I could launch my ftp program and Edit Externally... the file. Or I could automatically launch TextMate, my editor of choice, with a simple txmt:// link on the web page. Best, Eric

Run Command question

I came across a similar problem when writing a php command completion tool (http://ian.ardes.com/phpcc). The way I solved it was to write two separate commands, one outputting as a snippet, the other as a tooltip. I then wrote a macro to run both of these commands, and bound this macro to the desired key. Cheers, ian

Bug report: Trouble with Input Method

by Kazuo Saito

Main editor window cannot handle inputs from input method properly. When typing Japanese characters, no characters were displayed and I could not type characters anymore(includes ASCII chars) until I move cursor to another line. Other input methods than Japanese, Hangul and Chinese, seems to have same problem. All other widgets, project drawers, tabs, dialogs and menu items work fine. Thanks, Kazuo Saito <ksaito(a)cobratwist.org> PS: Are there any plan to add localizations? I'm translating .nib files into Japanese actually.

request

by M Spreij

Requests - incremental search, I would like Cmd-W to close the window, even if it *is* still in I.S. mode - it would be nice to be able to refresh syntax hightlighting styles without having to relaunch TextMate, and have it redraw the open windows (so you could edit, refresh, and review effects). Help.. - in HTML-PHP style, I somehow can't get the {} pair to indent anymore if I hit enter in between them :-( looked at the syntax files but that regex got too complicated for 5 AM..
